Patient Safety and Clinical Skills

NES Patient Safety Multi-disciplinary Group

This is a group of staff from across NES, working in a variety of ways to research, develop and promote a range of educational solutions to help improve patient safety.

The group aims to champion patient safety, roll out good practice and embed patient safety principles across educational programmes. NES also contributes to the Quality Hub, which includes an online portal to help clinicians find, share and apply evidence to deliver the best quality and safe patient care.
